Where Filmed

Tidelands Location: The spectacular setting where the series was filmed in Australia

Tidelands is the first entirely original Australian series on Netflix. Set in the fictional small fishing village of Orphelin Bay, the eight-part supernatural drama centres on a mysterious group of people, half-humans and half-sirens, called Tidelanders.

Cal McTeer, played by Charlotte Best (Home and Away), is a young woman who returns home when the body of a local fisherman appears on the shore. She will try to uncover the secrets of the town. Spanish model and actress Elsa Pataky (Chris Thor Hemsworth's wife) is Adrielle, the obscure leader of the tribe. The rest of the 'Titlanders' trouppe (the series contain several nudity scenes), is completed by Madeleine Madden (Picnic at Hanging Rock), Marco Pigossi (seen in the Brazilian hit soup opera Edge of Desire), Mattias Inwood and Aaron Jakubenko (both from The Shannara Chronicles).

Tidelands was filmed entirely in South East Queensland in Brisbane. As usual, we will be expanding and updating this post about the filming locations of this new Down Under series as more info becomes available:

The establishing aerial shots of Orphelin Bay are from Dunwich, one of the tree small settlements located on North Stradbroke Island. This is the point where the passenger ferries arrive from the mainland.

Many scenes were recorded in the scenic sand beaches and wetlands of North Stradbroke Island. This is a large and touristic island in Redland Bay, with plenty of interesting wild natural lakes and swamps, officially inhabited by only a little more than 2,000 souls.

A lot of filming took place in the Sandgate and Shorncliffe area, including the beautiful Cabbage Tree Creek. We found Cal and Augie's house (pictured) at 153 Palm Ave in Shorncliffe. Image courtesy of Netflix - Map

The Devil's Tail bar is the Old Courthouse Restaurant in Raby Bay, Cleveland. This is a heritage timber and sandstone 19th-century house, with great views of Moreton bay. Image courtesy of Netflix and Google Maps

We also discovered that the The Orphelin Bay Fishing Cooperative facilities were set in a warehouse by the sea in Steiglitz (pictured). The cold stores exteriors where the drugs change hands in the first episode are at Thermo Freeze at Hemmant. Image courtesy of Netflix and Google Maps

The police station is located near Victoria Point Reserve in Masters Ave (pictured). Laura's house is located at 24 Rosebank Square in the suburb of Salisbury, in Brisbane. Image courtesy of Netflix - Map

The beautiful twisty road that appears in several episodes, with the tall tree and sugar mill in background is at Holmstead Rd located between Woongoolba and Steiglitz. The long and spooky road out to the Tidelanders house seen in episode 1 is Rocky Point Rd, from the hill near Cecil Zipf park (also in Steiglitz and Woongoolba area).

The wonderful Tidelanders house looks more like a set than a real old manor. The interiors were probably built in a soundstage. Screen Queensland confirmed that the production also took place in Mount Cotton and Ransome. Image courtesy of Netflix
